This post was inspired today during my first #HFChat (twitter chat)

Just a quick heads up for job seekers…

If you’re actively searching for a job and apply for multiple openings online, make sure to know what jobs you’ve applied for, and when you applied.

This is so important for many reasons.

• If an HR Manager, Recruiter or Hiring Manager asks, and you don’t know or you don’t remember, this shows lack of organization and attention to detail.
• If you keep track, you will avoid applying for the same job multiple times.  It’s much better to apply once, and then follow up on your application.
• Knowing what you’ve applied for, when you applied and if you’ve made contact will allow you to manage your time more efficiently.

There are just three important reasons to know where your resume is going.

Here is a document you can download to help you organize your job search information:
